Rewriting History To Attack Bush On Iraq

If you picked up a paper in the last week or so, you probably got the impression that George Bush spent a year demanding an Iraqi invasion based on claims that Saddam had reconstituted nuclear weapons with uranium bought in Niger. But now that the war is over, we’ve found out that it was all […]

An Ignored ‘Disparity’

With all the talk about “disparities” in innumerable contexts, there is one very important disparity that gets remarkably little attention — disparities in the ability to create wealth. People who are preoccupied, or even obsessed, with disparities in income are seldom interested much, or at all, in the disparities in the ability to create wealth, […]

My One Question for All GOP Candidates

In my previous two columns, I outlined the 10 questions we need to ask to find our next president. I believe them wholeheartedly, but I have one last question that is almost as important as all of them combined. And it is for all the GOP candidates. During former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s November trip […]

Mark Levin’s ‘Ameritopia’

Mark Levin’s hard work in researching, organizing and writing his new book, “Ameritopia,” will be a blessing for all who read it. Countless books chronicle the forward march of the liberal agenda and attempt to deconstruct the fallacies in modern leftist thinking. Many critique the statist policies the left has imposed on us the past […]

Analysis Of The Myrtle Beach Debate

Fox ran the debate last night and aside from Juan Williams’ race-baiting, the questions were fairly good although it’s disappointing that we can’t ever seem to get any questions about Fast and Furious or the TSA. Additionally, because there were only 5 candidates, the people on the stage had a lot more time to respond. […]

Three conservative victories

While most attention is focused on the presidential race and Republican hopes to oust President Obama from office, some significant steps were taken last week on issues dear to the hearts of conservatives. In Texas, a federal appeals court upheld the state’s sonogram law, which requires that women seeking abortions view a picture of their […]

RON PAUL!!!!1!!! Flashback: Civil War Was Senseless

An interesting article from Philly.com Paul is in party of Lincoln, but rejects what he stood for Can Ron Paul make Abe Lincoln a villain – in the Party of Lincoln? Why would he try in the first place? And who would help him? In all the attention that has surrounded the presidential candidacy of […]

Republican candidates should push incremental pro-life measures

If Republicans want to stand out from Democrats on social issues, then we have to find ways to make our pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-child positions resonate with the public at large. For example, on the pro-life issue, we should not be focused on outright bans on abortion, but instead on incremental measures to restrict abortion accessibility. […]

Occupy Wall Street Thugs Confiscate Man’s Home

Liberals have never much cared for the rule of law. When they can’t get liberal judges to subvert the law, they feel justified in violating it in any way they please. Then, all too often, if there are liberals in power, they turn a blind eye to people who break the law as long as […]

Huntsman To End Campaign, Endorse Romney

Well, this is a surprise, he ran such a great campaign, what with him following the tried and true primary season plan where the candidate panders to independents and moderates….what’s that? They are supposed to pander to the base? Well, darn. Well, at least he went and attacked President Obama….huh? He said in his running […]

Moralizers, Bible Thumpers, & Social Conservatives

I generally prefer to stay away from the fuzzy “Social Conservative” issues because they’re often so subjective & personal to most people that it’s difficult to change minds. Moreover, I’d probably qualify as a “tweener” when it comes to Social Conservatism. I’m more Socially Conservative than the average person, but I’m not in the same […]

Some Of My Pet Peeves With The Mainstream Media

Some people are annoyed by crying babies in a movie theater, people driving under the speed limit in the passing lane, any movie with Pauly Shore in it — you know, normal stuff. While all those things irritate me too, I get more perturbed with some of the things the mainstream media does on a […]

The Rift Between America & Western Europe Is Going To Grow

There are a lot of people in America, mainly on the left, who have a great love of international institutions, coalitions, and who crave approval from the rest of the world for every action our nation takes. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with cooperating with other nations or taking help from countries […]

Rules Of Thumb

Here are few generalities about American politics that I believe to be the case. They’re not always true, but they’re good rules of thumb to keep in mind. — Don’t ever expect a conservative to get an even break from the mainstream media. — To the mainstream media and the left, every war is Vietnam. […]

Obama Thumbs Nose at Founders With One-man Rule

Of course President Obama is not concentrating on campaigning, White House press spokesmen assured us — as the president headed off to Chicago for three fundraisers and a drop-in at his campaign headquarters, two days after a high-roller fundraising choked off traffic five blocks from the White House, with the assistance of a score of […]

Every Year Boondoggles Pile Up in California

The left-wing idea that it’s good for government to always wildly increase spending is dying a quick death these days. But this good sense has not made it to every state in the union yet — two disastrous states in particular; California and Illinois. These two states have not learned the lesson about the ruinous […]

The Failing Bush Presidency

In the last hundred years, only FDR and JFK have enjoyed the type of overwhelming support that George Bush has received since Sept. 11th. The majority of the American public seems not only to trust him, but to genuinely like him. That’s a very rare thing for a politician, which is why it’s unconscionable that […]

Unhinged And Creepy Lunacy From The Left

Under the best of circumstances, liberals do not tend to be logical or realistic about much of anything except their chances of electing more liberals. But since 9/11, the left has gotten progressively crazier and more hysterical almost by the week. How big has the reality disconnect gotten? Bartcop’s Political Humor, a web site that […]

The Consequences Of The Anti-War Crowd’s Position

The possible negative consequences of an Iraqi invasion have been discussed ad nauseum in recent months. We’ve been told that hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians could die, many Americans will die in street to street fighting, that the risk of terrorism will be increased, that our attacks on Iraq will increase the chances of […]

White House Supposedly Comes Out Against SOPA, House Shelves It

Saturday, the White House responded to two petitions asking that SOPA and PIPA be killed as legislation Right now, Congress is debating a few pieces of legislation concerning the very real issue of online piracy, including the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the PROTECT IP Act, and the Online Protection and Digital ENforcement Act (OPEN).
